Losing My Religion

 


 I know people are quite depressed lately due to the current circus at the White House. We never know what fresh hell will await us in the morning. I just keep telling myself, "Four years. I can do it because I have faced the Sisters of No Mercy."

Imagine nine years with nuns who literally wore a gold wedding ring because they were "married" to God. Nine years is a very long time in kid time, an eternity no one should endure. Why I never fell into the brainwashed ideology of religion I can only imagine it was because I was an introvert who watched instead of joining in the circle. I questioned the hypocrisy I saw on a daily basis. 

I don't believe in any higher being watching over us, judging us, ready to punish or reward us for our being flawed humans. 

Which brings me to the hypocrite in the room. Me.

I still decorate for every Christian holiday. I put up the tree, bake the cookies and sing the songs. I even put out a nativity set.

This coming Easter we will dye the eggs, eat the chocolate bunnies and dine on ham and carrot cake.

We don't say, "Happy Birthday, Jesus," or, "Hey, man, your alive." Yet, I feel we should join the clique.

I'm not sure why I feel the need to participate in something that I believe is a lie. Perhaps, being subjected at a young age brands you for life. 

It's a conundrum, one I need to try to address and eventually step away from.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

Wishful Thinking

  Bluesky got my hopes up with rumors of Trump's possible passing because his bronze glow up and swelling cankles were incognito for a few days. He also hasn't been ranting on False Social. Naturally, I went looking only to find he is still breathing, but looking like the grim reaper may be his caddy. It's a weird social phenomenon when normally nice people are wishing for the death of one orange man by natural causes. You know we could hurry this along by other means. Just saying. At this point I don't see anyone stepping up to the plate. It appears only Magas like to murder and buy guns like the left buys books. There is another way, which is as likely as the other idea and that is, Congress growing some balls. Sorry, ladies but you can grow a pair, too. The demented old fool is making rules left and right, illegal I must add, yet, crickets come from Congress. I truly don't understand the game plan if there ever was one on the Maga side. It's clearly not about...
